A Class Project: Parade of the Significant Characters in the Life and Works of Rizal

Hello, my dear Hivers! It's @reshychannn here, and I am up for a short blog today. This blog is all about our class project way back in 2023, when I was still in my third year of college. Be with me, and let’s all look back on this wonderful memory.

  I know every Filipino knows Dr. Jose Rizal because he is a significant person in our Philippine history. He was a well-known writer during his time. The most well-known novels that he wrote are Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. He is also considered as the Philippine national hero. In college, it is mandatory to study the life and works of Rizal as part of the curriculum. And this is where the wonderful memory begins.

As part of our partial requirement for the midterm for the course “The Life and Works of Rizal ,” we will be having a runway or parade of the characters from the life and works of Rizal. Basically, it’s like a cosplay of the characters.

Our instructor assigned each one of us a character to copy for the runway activity, and I was one of the “Malolos Women” along with my two classmates. Everybody had different characters. Some are happy with their characters, while others are not, because for them, it is very hard to copy the style and looks of some characters.

We prepared for the activity. We had a rehearsal at the covered court in our school, and we all rented clothes and dresses that were similar to our characters. Mine was not hard to find since Malolos women only wore Filipiniana. Lucky for me, I only rented the dress for ₱100.00, while others rented theirs for ₱300.00 to ₱500.00 in the price range. That is very expensive, but they don’t have a choice since it is for our activity and grades.
 
On the day of the event, everyone was anticipating and excited because we all got to dress ourselves to look similar to our assigned characters. I even got to do the makeovers of my closest friends. There were two sections present in the activity since we both have the same instructor for this course or subject. Everybody looked great in their costumes.
